Upcoming Road Team Schedule of Events
January 28, 2021 - Junior Achievement Inspire Online Virtual Career Quest – Paula Harper with help from Donna Wheeler
March 1-5 - Knox County Schools Career Expo – To be determined
Due to the Covid, the Road Team was not able to do many events in 2020. For that reason, we have decided to keep the 2020 team active for 2021. This means we won’t select any new Captains for 2021 or have in-person training for them unless schools open up and we get more active again. We do plan to select for 2022 and will notify members when that will take place.
